Finding Su Wan

As Lu Nan watched the man draw close, a flicker of panic crossed his eyes.

But he said nothing. Seeing this, Lu Nan turned to the others.

When he saw that none of them intended to speak, he smiled faintly and waved his hand, producing a white crystal.

"Not talking? That's fine! This is called a Recording Stone. I'm sure you all know what it is."

Then he took out a porcelain bottle. "This contains potent aphrodisiacs!!"

After a pause, he emphasized, "The enhanced version. If you take it and don't get release—

that thing will go bang and blow you apart. There are four of you in total.

Two of you will get to experience the joy of exploding, while the other two might get to enjoy yourselves!!

Of course, I'll record your beautiful memories for you during the process!!"

As he spoke, he shook the white crystal in his hand.

Then, weighing the porcelain bottle in his hand, he approached the person on the far right.

Seeing the faint smile on Lu Nan's face, the first man immediately shouted, "I'll talk! I'll talk!! Stop!!!"

"Talk!!" Lu Nan halted.

The man swallowed and rapidly said, "The Wang Family has nine Foundation Establishment experts in total. Aside from the family head, there are eight great Elders.

There are one or two hundred at the Qi Condensation stage. The rest are either at the Body Tempering realm or ordinary people.

For this operation, the clan deployed three Foundation Establishment Elders, along with every clansman at the Qi Condensation stage."

Lu Nan's pupils shrank. "Where are the other Elders?"

"I don't know! Only the seventh, eighth, and ninth Elders, along with the family head, are permanently stationed in the clan." The man shook his head.

"How much do you know about this stone forest??"

"Nothing!!!"

Lu Nan narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura rose from his body.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly said, "Really! We're just ordinary clansmen, only carrying out orders from above!!"

Noting that they were only at the third or fourth layer of Qi Refining, Lu Nan fell silent for a few seconds. "Then how do you get out???"

"Before entering the stone forest, the Elders gave everyone a Guiding Talisman.

As long as we haven't gone too deep, we can use the Guiding Talisman to find our way out!!"

"Where did you encounter the Sword Sect disciples before??"

"I don't know!!!" Seeing Lu Nan move again,

the man hastily explained, "The stone forest is constantly shifting. We can't determine our location either!"

Lu Nan nodded, then raised his Flying Sword.

Four heads flew into the sky. After quickly looting the corpses,

he headed deeper into the stone forest...

Looking at the dead end before him, Lu Nan felt utterly exhausted.

He had already lost count of how many times he had run into dead ends.

Every time he reached one, he could only turn back and choose another path.

Yet more often than not, that path was another dead end. "This is really infuriating!!!"

After grumbling, Lu Nan turned around to search for another way out.

Suddenly, his footsteps halted, and he swiftly concealed his aura.

He slowly crept toward the source of the noise, circled around a massive boulder, and secretly peered to the other side.

A group of people at the seventh or eighth layer of Qi Refining were vigilantly watching their surroundings.

"Everyone, be careful. That demoness is nearby," one of them loudly warned.

Hidden to one side, Lu Nan's eyes lit up at those words. He had been wandering blindly through the Strange Rock Forest for half the day.

Though he had killed quite a few Wang Family members, he had gained no useful information.

Let alone any trace of Su Wan. He had not expected that, just when the willows seemed dark and the flowers spent, another village would appear.

He did not rush to attack, instead lying in ambush to one side.

Waiting for Su Wan to make her move...

But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened apart from the group nervously sweeping their gazes around.

Nor did Lu Nan's Divine Sense detect Su Wan's aura.

This made him frown. Could they be trying to bait me?? Forget it! I'll kill them and keep searching!!!

Just as he was about to strike, screams rang out from the group.

He hurriedly looked up and saw that one person was already lying in a pool of blood.

Then, before his astonished eyes, a White Figure constantly darted between the group.

In an instant, only three or four people remained alive.

As the four remaining people stood in the clearing, the White Figure also came to a stop.

Lu Nan finally saw who it was. Looking at Su Wan's miserable appearance and deathly pale face,

his heart immediately relaxed. Thank goodness! Thank goodness!!

"Su Wan, you've finally shown yourself. You must be at the end of the road now, right?"

Su Wan ignored their taunts.

She merely panted heavily, seizing every moment to recover as much as she could.

When Su Wan ignored them, the remaining four men looked incomparably grim.

Then one of them took out something and prepared to launch it into the sky.

"Calling for help because you can't win? Who taught you that??" A cold voice echoed through the surroundings.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Nan appeared among them. Before they could react, he reaped their lives.

Shaking the blood from his sword, he turned to look at the pale-faced Su Wan.

With a faint smile, he said, "Senior Sister Su, I found you!!!"

At his words, a smile appeared on Su Wan's pale face.

Then her body went limp, and she collapsed toward the ground.

Fortunately, Lu Nan was quick enough to rush forward and catch her.

Looking at the unconscious Su Wan in his arms, he immediately sent spiritual energy into her body to examine her condition.

Then his expression changed as he stared fixedly at her lovely face.

Many bones throughout her body were fractured, and the spiritual energy within her was completely drained.

Lu Nan could not imagine how she had endured until now. He quickly fed her a Healing Pill.

Then, carrying her in his arms, he vanished into the stone forest.

"Mm..." Su Wan opened her eyes and hazily surveyed her surroundings.

But she quickly came to her senses and instinctively rolled over to rise.

Only to be pressed down by a strong hand. "Senior Sister, you're still injured.

You can't move around carelessly!!!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Wan abruptly turned her head.

Then she froze. "Junior... Junior Brother Lu????"

"Mm! It's me!!!!"

"Is it really you??" Su Wan suddenly leaned close to Lu Nan and carefully examined him.

"It really is me!! Senior Sister, lie down first!!!"

After confirming again and again that it truly was Lu Nan, Su Wan's eyes reddened.

In a despondent voice, she said, "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters... they've all been captured!!!!"

Then she looked up at Lu Nan. "Where did you go???"

Lu Nan was stunned by her words. After several seconds of silence, he said, "I went back to Wang Manor and discovered the Wang Family's secret.

The Wang Family Ancestor is still alive, and he is using Living Human Alchemy."

After a pause, he added, "I've already rescued Senior Sisters Jing Ran and Li Nianqiao!!"

Su Wan was stunned, then anxiously asked, "What about Senior Brother Li Nian and Senior Brother An Er??"

"They... Senior Sisters said that they sacrificed themselves to cover their escape." Lu Nan's tone was heavy.

"I caused this!!" Su Wan's entire body went limp. She collapsed to the ground and muttered.

Looking at Su Wan's guilt-filled eyes, Lu Nan opened his mouth.

In the end, he sighed. "Senior Sister, focus on recovering! Senior Sisters Jing Ran and Li Nianqiao are still waiting for us!!"

At the mention of the two, a glimmer of light flashed through Su Wan's eyes.

"Right, right!!!" She hurriedly sat down to meditate and recover.

Seeing this, Lu Nan also walked to one side and sat cross-legged to recuperate.

"Let's go!!" After a long while, seeing that Su Wan had more or less recovered, Lu Nan spoke.

"Mm!!"
